A church in Pennsylvania is offering a vacation Bible school blending the beach with the Bible.
A special summer vacation Bible school called "Beach Bible: Surfin' through Scripture'' will be held Aug. 4 to 8 at Fairhaven United Methodist Church in Brookline.
The novel approach at this church is designed to help children ages 4 through 12 "ride the wave of God's love and go home with a new 'Beach Be-Attitude,'" Ms. Kohley said.
A Beach Boys fan, Ms. Kohley said the fun and educational program is a great way to introduce children to scripture and relate its message to their lives in an easy-to-understand manner.
As part of the program, children will learn aspects of surfing and make and decorate their own smaller versions of surfboards out of foam. They will dig in sand pits for shells, make a prayer pail, decorate a fish ornament, make necklaces and receive a pair of sunglasses. Children also will paint a sand dollar and learn about the religious legend surrounding it.
